Following up on the promise made back in March, Apple and Nike have integrated Nike+ iPod technology into gym equipment. 24 Hour Fitness, the largest fitness chain in the US, will be the first to roll out the equipment to select locations across the country starting in July. [BusinessWire]
One of the major problems with home gym equipment is that it is bulky and often requires a dedicated room of the house to use. That is why, in my opinion, the future of home gyms will be equipment that is designed to blend in with the decor. A few weeks ago I came across a concept that attempts to tackle that design challenge, but the final product leaves much to be desired. I’m a certified personal trainer–and if I were to design a piece of functional exercise furniture, I would like to think that it would be something similar to Gabriel Prero’s Otto-Bench.
Apparently, sitting at your chair all day whilst blogging about gadgets is not supposed to be so good for your health. That’s where Dimension One Spas’ Aquafit 19 Dual Temp comes in. The US$40,000 gymnasium/spa allows users to have a full, underwater cardiovascular workout by using the included rower, tricep pull down and simulated jogger or swimming facilities.
